NAME

nsr_archive_request - NetWorker resource type ``NSR archive request''  

SYNOPSIS

type: NSR archive request  

DESCRIPTION

Each NSR archive request is described by a single resource of type NSR archive request (see nsr_resource(5)). To edit the NSR archive request resources for a NetWorker server type:

nsradmin -c "type:NSR archive request"

See the nsradmin(8) manual page for more information on using the NetWorker administration program. The archive request resource may also be edited using NetWorker Management Console.

This resource allows administrators to set up an archive to occur later or to set up frequent archives of a set of data. The administrator can run an archive on a specified client within the next 24 hours. The archive is executed via the nsralist(8)) command.  

ATTRIBUTES

The following attributes are defined for resource type NSR archive request. The information in parentheses describes how the attribute values are accessed. Read-only indicates that the value cannot be changed by an administrator. Read/write means the value can be set as well as read. Hidden means it is an attribute of interest only to programs or experts. Hidden attributes can only be seen when the hidden option is turned on in nsradmin(8). Choice means that the value of the attribute can only be one from a list specific to that attribute (for example, status can be start now or start later). Dynamic attributes have values which change rapidly. Encrypted attributes contain data that is not displayed in its original form. The assumption is that the data is sensitive in nature and needs to be protected from accidental disclosure. Several additional attributes (for example, administrator) are common to all resources, and are described in nsr_resource(5).

comment            (read/write)
This attribute is provided for the administrator to keep any explanatory
remarks or supplementary information about the archive request.
annotation  (read/write)
This attribute contains the annotation text associated with the archive
save set generated from this archive request.
Example: annotation: Product Release 4.1;
archive clone pool   (read/write)
This attribute indicates the archive clone media pool the archive request
should use when cloning the archive save set generated by this archive request.
Example: archive clone pool: Archive clone;
archive completion   (read/write)
A notification action to be executed to send status of the archive request to.

Example: archive completion: /usr/ucb/mail -s "Product Archive" systemadmin;
archive pool (read/write)
This attribute can be used to override the normal media pool selection
applied to the archive save set generated from the archive request. Selecting a pool will direct the archive to that media pool.
Example: archive pool: Archive;
client               (read/write)
This attribute indicates what NetWorker archive client the archive request
is to be executed on.
Example: client: neptune;
clone                (read/write)
This attribute controls whether the archive save set generated by the
archive request is to be cloned. A value of Yes implies the archive save set should be cloned. A value of No does not imply cloning.
Example: clone: No;
cloned               (read/write, hidden)
This attribute is unused.

Example: cloned: No;
completion time      (read/write, hidden)
This attribute indicates when the archive request completed.
The format is "day-of-week month day hours:minutes:seconds year".
Example: "Thu Oct 22 17:00:37 1994";;
directive    (read/write)
This attribute specifies the directive to use when running the archive.
The default value is nothing selected. The valid choices for the directive resource are names of the currently defined `NSR directive' resources, see nsr_directive(5).
Example: directive: Default with compression;
grooming     (read/write)
This attribute indicates any grooming actions to be taken once the archive
save set generated by the archive request has been created, verified, and cloned. A value of none implies no action. A value of remove implies the files and directories specified in the save set attribute will be removed via the rmdir(2) and unlink(2) system calls.
Example: grooming: none;
log          (read/write, hidden)
This attribute contains any information pertaining to the execution
of the nsralist command.
Example: log:; name         (read/write) This attribute specifies the name of this NetWorker archive request.

Example: name: Product Source Tree;
save set     (read/write)
This attribute lists the path names to be archived on the archive client.
The names should be separated by a comma and a space (", ").
Example: save set: /product/src, /accounting/db;
start time   (read/write)
This attribute determines when the archive request will be run. The
status attribute (see above) must be set to start later for the archive request to be scheduled. The 24 hour clock format is "hours:minutes".
Example: start time: 3:33;
status               (read/write, choice)
This attribute determines if an archive request should be run.
No value implies the archive request is not scheduled. Selecting start now causes the archive request to be run immediately. Selecting start later causes the archive request to be run at the time specified by the start time attribute.
Example: status:;
verified     (read/write, hidden)
This attribute is unused.

Example: verified: No;
verify               (read/write, choice)
This attribute indicates the archive request should verify the archive.
See nsr_archive(5) for more information on archiving. Selecting the Yes choice causes the verification to occur. Selecting the No choice will not cause any verification. If the user also requests that the archive save set be cloned, the verification is done on the clone since the cloning operation will have verified the original archive save set.
Example: verify: Yes;
Save operations (read/write, string)
This attribute specifies the save operation instructions in the form of: KEYWORD:TOKEN=STATE

This attribute is required if save set attribute of the archive client contains non-ASCII names. Specify:

I18N:mode=nativepath (for NetWorker 7.4 or later clients on UNIX platforms with non-ASCII save set names)
I18N:mode=utf8path (for pre-7.4 clients and NetWorker clients on Windows platforms with non-ASCII save set names)

Example: Save operations: I18N:mode=nativepath;

 

EXAMPLE

Note: the hidden options are not shown in this example.

A resource to define an archive request, called Product:




                     type:NSR archive request;
                     name:Product Source;
                     annotation:Product Release 3.0;
                     status:Start later;
                     start time:"2:00";
                     client:space;
                     save set:/product/source;
                     directive:Default with compression;
                     archive pool:Archive;
                     verify:Yes;
                     clone:Yes;
                     archive clone pool:Archive Clone;
                     grooming:none;
                     archive completion:mail -s Product Source Archive productteam;
